The White House on Tuesday attacked Sabrina Carpenter after she called out the Trump administration for using her music in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest video.
In a reference-filled attempt to diminish the pop star’s criticism, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson wrote in a statement (per Politico):
“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: We won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
“Short n’ Sweet” is Carpenter’s Grammy-winning 2024 album and “stupid, or is it slow” is from her song “Manchild.”
Carpenter joined the legion of artists who have had their music co-opted by President Donald Trump and Co. when they used her hit “Juno” in a clip of people being rounded up in the immigration crackdown.
